GOV. HILL" KNOCKS THEM OUT.
A Feature of Yesterdays Egg-Rolling
Festival at the White House.
LINN fhe Nnlr Ynt.k Hnt.Id

WASHINGTON, April 11.-There were
gathered in the White House grounds to-day
at least 1000 children, accompanied by 5000
mothers, sisters and nurses. Each was
well supplied with baskets and buckets
of eggs. The Easter Monday egg
festival originated i'll this city a great
many wears ago, but never before has it
been so great a holiday for the little folks.
AS early as o'clock the grounds were well
filled, and from that time until 3 they came
in droves of hundreds. The children, like
the eggs, We're not all of one color. The
colored youth was as frisky as his white
neighbor and in many instances he rivaled
him in the stock of eggs, both i'll quantity
and variety of colors.
It was a novel sight to see thousand or
more eggs go rolling down the terraces, with
as many little folk, girls and boys, falling
over each other in the grand rush for the
eggs of the most tiaShy cOlors. Occasionally
some over enterprising youth, in his excite
ment, would destroy his rivals property,
which was generally followed by a fight,
with their nurses as referees. In one instance
| there was a collapse of shell, which revealed
sad but effective sight, and one boy went
home not particularly impressed with the
| grandeur of the occasion. The egg was an
Gent, and his rival had struck him on the
| head with it.
Politics was not entirely eliminated from
the festival. There were Republican eggs
and Democratic eggs, named respectively
| 10y youthful political aspirants. Frequent
were the contests between them as to which
could break the others first There were
| Cleveland eggs, Blaine eggs, Randall eggs,
| Hill eggs and eggs of all the
political favorites. One bright lit
| tie boy, the son of a prominent
| Democratic Congressman, was the proud
possessor of highly colored egg upon which
| were inscribed in red letters, 'GoV. Hill "
The egg was a warrior After knocking
out great many of the Blaine and Cleve
land eggs the namesake of Gov. Hill was
carried through the grounds i'll great
triumph, with offers to fight any other egg
on the grounds.
AT | 30 o'clock the scenes for time we're
! transferred from the grounds to the Fast
Parlor in the White House, where they were
| received by the President 1t seemed more
like a Christmas tree, with the President
| as Santa Claus, than that of an ordi
/ nary reception. After the President had
| greeted about one-half of the 1000 urchins
he grew tired and was compelled to order
| the doors closed, not allowing the remainder
to enter. This order provoked an outburst
| of Indignation from the mothers, and witt
those whose children were not allowed adj
| mission Mr.. Cleveland was at once III great
! diSfaVOr.
An effort was made in the early part OF
the reception to have the President kiss the
children as they passed, but ii was no use
| He shook their hands, and patted them OF
their heads and accepted eggs from then
until he had the pockets in the skirt of hi

A MARBLE CUTTER.

James Kay, although rs years old, is a
hale man and great favorite among the
inmates He is not positively blind, for he
can distinguish light from darkness, and is
much sought after by those less fortunate
than himself, for he is able to act as guide
in strolls in the park and elsewhere.
MIR. Kay was born in Bristol, and coming
to this country thirty-seven years ago he
settled down in Jersey City, where he work
ed at his trade as marble cutter. On a
summers day, quarter of a century since,
while using his hammer and chisel, piece
of steel from the hammer Clipped off and
lodged in his right eye, destroying the lens.
He worked until four years ago, when his
other eye failed him and he became for a
time totally blind
